DraftKings NFL Picks, Week 8: Best bargains in DFS play

Wide Receivers

We’ve already mentioned the JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT vs. MIA, $6,500) special in our quarterbacks breakdown, and gave reasons to start Corey Davis (TEN vs. TB, $4,400) while we were at it. Other mid-to-upper tier options to keep eyes on include Kenny Golladay (DET vs. NYG, $6,400) and T.Y. Hilton (IND vs. DEN, $6,100).

Golladay should test the Giants secondary often and makes a great stack with Matthew Stafford. Hilton is a bit more consistent and comes with a slightly lower price due in part to the anticipated matchup against Chris Harris Jr. Below are five other options to toss into lineups without hesitation.

Allen Robinson (CHI vs. LAC, $6,000): Per below, Robinson’s volume is not in question. However, his quarterback might be. Thankfully, a matchup against a beleaguered Chargers secondary awaits. There’s no better week to start Robinson.

John Brown (BUF vs. PHI, $5,900). Ahh, yes. Your typical fast receiver-meets-horrid defensive backs story. Where there’s Smoke, there’s fire, especially against a flammable Eagles secondary. No gasoline required to get this blaze going, but Orlando Scandrick is ready at a moment’s notice.

Courtland Sutton (DEN at IND, $5,300): Sutton is already emerging in his breakout season, but should see his target volume increase further with the departure of Emmanuel Sanders. Sutton has seen seven or more passes thrown his way in every game this season. Expect an additional three or four from here on out. At the very least, he should compile garbage time stats in a contest the Colts should win handily.

Kenny Stills (HOU vs. OAK, $4,700): For the price, this matchup is almost too good to be true, especially with Will Fuller‘s injury clearing the way for Stills to play regularly. Stills is always a boom or bust play, but his chances of exploiting the Oakland Raiders secondary just skyrocketed with the trade of Gareon Conley. Houston will pile up points in this perfect storm, and Stills will lead the charge.

A list of honorable mentions can’t begin without Cole Beasley (BUF vs. PHI, $4,200). Aside from one dud, Beasley has put up 10 or more fantasy points each week, with one near miss. He’s as consistent an option to be found at this price point. A.J. Brown (TEN vs. TB, $4,100) also offers a great matchup at a low price, with an even higher ceiling.

Mike Williams (LAC at CHI, $4,000) is long overdue for a touchdown if you believe in positive regression; Williams has zero touchdowns despite eight red zone looks. Considering his success in this area last season, and the likely absence of the only wide receiver who’s seen more targets inside the 20 (Keenan Allen), it will be an oversight if Williams doesn’t appear in a ton of lineups.

Finally, DaeSean Hamilton (DEN at IND, $3,300) was a favorite deep sleeper of many analysts going into the season who didn’t think Emmanuel Sanders was ready to perform. Now that the veteran has been shipped off to the San Francisco 49ers, Hamilton gets his chance to show what he can do. The price is too nice to ignore.
